Life in Asia.....

Thanks Miss Morales for leaving that constructive comment! hehehe....

YES, I have been slacking off. I havent done much since I got back to Asia, thats the reason why I dont update my blog. Life here is very different from overseas. Everything is expected and normal to me. Thats why I dont find anything interesting to share. At the moment, I spend most of my time at home since I have no income and have not yet found friends who share the same interest.

As I mentioned in my personal email that I have found a job and am curently waiting for work permit. I think I should get it at the end of this week or the beginning of next. Finger crossed!

Oh, I nearly forgot, YES, I did do stuff. Last week, I celebrated Mooncake Festival with my friends and family in Malaysia and attended a close friend's wedding. Moon Cake Festival: A Mid-Autumn Festival (Chung Chiu), the third major festival of the Chinese calendar, is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month. This festival corresponds to harvest festival s observed by Western cultures (in Hong Kong, it is held in conjunction with the annual Lantern Festival). This festival is also known as the Moon Cake Festival because a special kind of sweet cake (yueh ping) prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seeds, ground lotus seeds and duck eggs is served as a traditional Chung Chiu delicacy.

Geography

THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN

Between 18 and 20 a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas.

Between 21 and 30 a woman is like America, well developed and open to trade especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35 she is like India, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40 a woman is like France. Gently going but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50 she is like Yugoslavia, lost the war - haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia, very wide and borders are unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia, with a glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future.

After 70, they become Afghanistan. Most everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN

Between 15 and 70 a man is like Iraq- ruled by a dick.

Malaysia in talks for Disney theme park-in my hometown

Malaysia hopes to persuade Walt Disney to build a theme park in southern Johor state as it competes for tourists with neighbouring Singapore, which unveiled a large casino project last week.

Effendi Norwawi, the economic planning minister, said the government had been discussing the project with the US leisure and entertainment group and Oriental Land, the Japanese operator of Tokyo Disneyland.

If A Man Wants You

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.

Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.

Slower is better.

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.

He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, Why would he treat you any differently?

Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.If something bothers you, speak up.

Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job.

Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Never let a man define who you are.

Never borrow someone else's man.Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.

You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cuteabout baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someonecomplimentary...not supplementary.

Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.

Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forgetthem.

BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN, SO TAKE A HINT..............

What-lah is this all about? (Strictly Malaysian)

Many of my friends do not understand why we (Proud Malaysians :)) use 'la' so much and now lemme share this with you:

WHEN you speak to a Malaysian you will notice the suffix "lah" frequently occurs in conversation. What's all this, then?

"Lah" is a suffix in Bahasa Malaysia that is meant to add emphasis to a word or phrase. "Just do it" for example, would roughly translate into "Buat sahaja" but more forcefulness would be obtained by adding the suffix, e.g. "Buatlah sahaja".

If someone knocks at the door and you invite them in, the polite way to say that would be "Sila masuk", or "please come in". If, however, you've said it once and the person is still knocking, you just say "Masuklah" for emphasis and to tell the blur case (see our upcoming lexicon of Malaysian slang) that you heard him in the first place. There are thousands of other examples but we hope you get the drift.

Anyway, the suffix has been absorbed into English in the local vernacular, more commonly in the peninsula than over in Sabah and Sarawak, and is used millions of times a day throughout the country - sometimes purposefully, sometimes for no reason at all.

When you fail to show up for work on time and the boss chews you out, a typical defence might be "Sorry boss, tired-lah."

If someone is getting a little too uptight about something, the appropriate caution to him would be "relax-lah" or "steady-lah", which urges the person to chill out, calm down, stay frosty, cool off. See? Everybody needs slang.

While purists continue to mourn the so-called "dilution" of spoken English with such colloquialisms, it is part and parcel of Malaysian life and nothing seems able to dislodge it. Stuck-lah!

Some of the many applications of "lah"

Coaxing----- Come on-lah; don't be like that-lah; please-lah
Forceful----- Shut up-lah; get out-lah; go to hell-lah
Apologetic----- Sorry-lah
Fed up----- Enough-lah, Really fed up****-lah
Definite----- Of course-lah; sure-lah
Generous----- Take some more-lah
Unyielding----- Cannot-lah
Dumbfounded----- What-lah
Reluctant----- Dowan-lah! (A contraction of "don't want-lah")
Suggestive----- Try-lah
Agreeable----- Okay-lah
Disagreeable----- Your head-lah

Which country should you REALLY be living in?

Here comes MY country:

G'day Mate! You're a yokker. A true Aussie. You love the beach and barbies, as well as sport and sex. Life couldn't get any simpler, and thats the way it should be. C'mon Aussie, C'mon!


And you?

Bloody Londoners!

A Londoner parks his brand new Porsche in front of the Broad Quay office to show it off to his colleagues.

As he's getting out of the car, a lorry comes speeding along too close to the curb and takes off the door before zooming off.

More than a little distraught, the Londoner grabs his mobile and calls the police.

Five minutes later, the police arrive.

Before the policeman has a chance to ask any questions, the man starts screaming hysterically: "My Porsche, my beautiful midnight blue Porsche is ruined. No matter how long it's at the panel beaters it'll simply never be the same again!"

After the man finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his head in disgust.

I can't believe how materialistic you bloody Londoners are," he says. "You lot are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else in your life."

How can you say such a thing at a time like this?" sobs Lee the Porsche owner.

The policeman replies, "Didn't you realize that your left arm was torn off when the truck hit you."

The Londoner looks down in horror ."F***ING HELL !" he screams........

Where's my Rolex??..."

Burglary in toy store

I had an awful weekend.......
There was burglary in the toy store where I work as a part-timer yesterday and I was being locked in the store room. Here is what happened:

I was in the store by myself and I went to the bathroom at around 4pm. There were many people walking on the street and second after I entered the bathroom, I heard the main room being locked. I knew right away that someone broke in to steal money. I banged on the door, shouted and hoped that someone would hear me but no one did :(

I was traumautised. There was no emergency exit in the basement except for that door where it was locked. There was nothing I could do but kept banging on the door until it broke. I called the owner and the police. Police called the ambulance and took me to the hospital. I hurt my wrist :(

I still cant believe what had happened to me but I have definitely learnt alot from this unpleasant experience. Police told my boss that they couldnt believe what I had done to the door with this body size. I literally broke the damn door. I never knew that I am this strong.

My life is really exciting, isnt it?? GEEEEZZZ......

Hows yours?

Hope all is well....
